Painting Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much paint do I need for my project?
A: Calculate approximately one gallon per 400 square feet for most surfaces. Measure the width and height of each wall, multiply to get square footage, subtract for windows and doors, then add 10% for touch-ups and corrections. Textured surfaces and darker colors may require additional coverage.

Q: How do I start learning to paint as a beginner?
A: Begin with a limited palette of colors to master mixing. Practice basic techniques like flat washes, gradients, and brushwork on small studies before attempting complete paintings. Consider starting with acrylics for their forgiving nature, then explore other mediums as your skills develop.

Q: What causes paint to fail prematurely?
A: Common causes include poor surface preparation, incompatible primers and topcoats, inadequate drying time between coats, extreme temperature or humidity during application, and using interior paint for exterior applications. Prevention begins with proper surface cleaning, appropriate priming, and following manufacturer guidelines.
